Year 9 2021 Subject Selections

Subject selections from Year 8 into 9 are complete and the students were extremely happy to finally have an input into some of what they will be studying. They now have access to a draft copy of the elective subject allocations on the Year 8 Google Classroom page. If your child has any concerns or cannot find their name on the selections list, can you please encourage them to speak to a member of the Year 8 team in the Junior Sub School, as soon as possible. 

Positive focus

For the rest of the term, the Junior Sub School will be placing a focus on positive interactions. It is an increasing concern in our world today full of technology and social media that our ability to respectfully and confidently interact with others is at risk. The events of 2020 have further amplified this concern. So, for the duration of the school year, let’s try to greet one another each morning and ask how they are. Let’s hold a door open or pick something up for them. Let’s make sure our words and actions each day make others days better, because being kind is very easy to do. The end of 2020 is fast approaching, so let’s make sure it finishes on a high!

Public Holidays

I’m sure that everyone is perfectly aware, but just a reminder that there will be no school on the following days:

• Wednesday, 21 October (Geelong Cup Day)
• Friday, 23 October (Grand Final Public Holiday)
